Chereads / My Unknown Life in Teyvat / Chapter 30 - Serene Tranquility

Chapter 30 - Serene Tranquility

whelp we're almost at the end of this whole timeskip recap arc thing

Honestly for what it's worth it's been halarious writing it the goods and the bads

But like all good things it must come to an end, also y'all didn't notice when I said tommorow it was technically 12 at night where I'm at so HA I gave myself more time to be lazy

anyways have fun with this one I think I was kinda creative with the way our mc got past an immovable defense

_______________________________________________

A claw whizzes past me knocking me out of my lightheadedness as I barely dodge the chomp readying my 6 swords to end this mess

I slash with all my strength but then suddenly I feel a pain in my back

'Shit that claw was a trick ' I say realizing behind me a portal opened as I hear a rumbling noise similar to laughter release from out the main maw of the gigantic beast as I start to feel weakness in my body

quickly thinking I use pride under my skin to eject the part where the hungries are absorbing my energy sending a mental message to Kaguya who immediately prepared a healing spell as I brace myself for immense pain

I feel an extreme moment of tiredness as I use pride to keep myself together as Kaguya uses the strongest healing spell she has to just barely save me as I now realize how little energy I have left to battle

I breathe quickly in a panic as I realize just how fucked I was as I can move my body but I see the legit sea of blood surrounding me floating intimately

Gluttony however seems to be done playing with its food as now I see it making a massive chomp creating a giant portal in front of it as I see it end above me after a few seconds of me as I see if I don't do something quick I'm going to die again and likely loose control of my body to the sins

As I'm in this dire state I hear Kaguya yell " Hey don't you die on me, remember what the Geo Archon taught you a few days ago, it'd be risky but perhaps you should try fusing it with that form "

as I hear this I see gluttony my personalized reaper for today falling downwards to me with his mouth open as I remember how much I tortured myself for these 2 years, I can't just give up now because of fear

As darkness surrounds my body I feel an inhumane feeling in my body as I use my last bits of genuine pride to activate a form i'd never expect to end up using after almost loosing myself to it in Cloud Retainer's domain

As my body shrinks slimmer and taller my mind becomes dull as I feel my emotions lose out to logic as I stare calmly at my skeletal body with holes in my hands

" Pride mode: Gaster alternative " I say with my last vestiges of emotion as 7 hands appear behind me 2 glowing in grey and black representing sloth and pride as I look to the Guzzlord above me in pure calmness

The voice of Kaguya echoes into my mind ' Remember no longer than a minute in this form, unless you want to go insane, you only have a day left '

At the reminder I scoff as if I didn't know it already as my 2 hands glow in excitement as the other 5 remain stationary, suddenly the slowly falling Guzzlord which seems to be talking pleasure in my previous torment speeds up as if it noticed something wrong

'40'

"No matter this will not chance the outcome' I say as my hand of pride grows to the size of my body as does sloth as they grab both of gluttony's claws as he roars in anger and assumingly tries to summon hungry to stop me but seems confused as nothing happens in it's continued struggle

" confused? " I say to the creature as the grey light of sloth shines in correlation to my grey eyelight in the shape of an arrow " I don't blame you however it seems we don't have much time so I cannot explain this to you "

'20'

'everything seems to clear now, it seems I clearly forgot the use of sloth due to my trauma of my own sins, quite pathetic really but I digress it's time to end this ' I say as the other dormant hands grab onto each other as a crunch rings into my ears as a giant gaster blaster stands under me as I now realized my board dissipated

'10'

" I would have some stolen one liner but you don't deserve it at this point, just kidding get dunked on" I say as a swirl of black and grey shoot from the blaster under me I keep going till I cannot stay in this form

'1'

as the last second strikes I immediately stop this transformation as I can already hear a crawling in my mind and whispers of insanity as I look to see another humanoid figure?

I float with my wind as I approach the what I assume remain of gluttony as he looks at me patiently "well that was more anticlimactic than I thought" the creature I'll simply call Tony says

" anticlimactic for you perhaps I'm still teetering on the brink of insanity here so it'd help if you could keep the philosophy questions quick " Tony simply laughs at me as he speaks

" Don't worry, I simply have a question to ask you before I go " he says as I notice half of his body dissapates

" how many sins have you truly faced " he says as he laughs to himself likely at me as he ends up just a head as he finnally states

" Man I wish I could've devoured more before you arri..." I simply stomp on the head as I feel a welling in my body as I see the black space collapse upon itself into a cube as I see a black great sword I grab as like the spear simply stays there as I feel my mind gain clarity as the whispers hide away in a corner waiting for their next opportunity to take over as I hear Kaguya state

" That was quite cruel, those were his last words no?" as I reply with no hesitation " 1. he was the closest fight I had, I'm insane not a dumbass, 2 he was making fun of me for something I already know" I say as this illusory place finnally imploded sending me out with a resounding thud as I simply stand up

" well as always for me as it seems, out of the frying pan and Into the fire " I say to nobody in perticular as I hear a familiar traumatic growling noise as a memory wells up inside of me that I quickly shut down

" Why have you come back here, you know I will not simply let you escape" a voice echos in this open area that previously was a cave to my knowledge with venomous intent

" you know why I'm here...I'm simply cutting off loose ends, also it's been quite a long time... can you really stop me Andreas " I say as a snow storm appears around the arena as a stomping fills my ears

I turn around to see him in what I'm simply calling his true form as I hear him state " You broke my trust human, now I will break you " He states with anger flowing throughout him as he rushes to me ending the staredown as I form a familiar spear to end this argument

_______________________________________________

Yep pretty good if I say so myself, also I didn't wanna put too much time on the gluttony battle given it had too much exposition but yeah simply put the gaster form increases the power of his sins coincidentally also making him weaker to their advances taking away literal days of control in a few minutes

It also grows in power with the more sins he collects boosting the other sins like a set effect in video games, and yes this was indeed a Jojo reference

The andreas fight will actually be taking up 1 chapter as I had to read into alot of lore in genshin (yes I actually read the books) alongside the wiki the man has a more diverse moveset than I thought

so anyways expect a decently longer battle like the Guzzlord fight but stuffed into 1 chapter, that's all I was pretty busy with some school bullshit so otherwise shouldn't be more to deal with I think

Peace ✌️
